commit 385277bfb57faac44e92497104ba542cdd82d5fe upstream.

When there is an error copying a chunk dm-snapshot can incorrectly hold
associated bios indefinitely, resulting in hung IO.

The function copy_callback sets pe-&gt;error if there was error copying the
chunk, and then calls complete_exception.  complete_exception calls
pending_complete on error, otherwise it calls commit_exception with
commit_callback (and commit_callback calls complete_exception).

The persistent exception store (dm-snap-persistent.c) assumes that calls
to prepare_exception and commit_exception are paired.
persistent_prepare_exception increases ps-&gt;pending_count and
persistent_commit_exception decreases it.

If there is a copy error, persistent_prepare_exception is called but
persistent_commit_exception is not.  This results in the variable
ps-&gt;pending_count never returning to zero and that causes some pending
exceptions (and their associated bios) to be held forever.

Fix this by unconditionally calling commit_exception regardless of
whether the copy was successful.  A new "valid" parameter is added to
commit_exception -- when the copy fails this parameter is set to zero so
that the chunk that failed to copy (and all following chunks) is not
recorded in the snapshot store.  Also, remove commit_callback now that
it is merely a wrapper around pending_complete.

commit ed8b45a3679eb49069b094c0711b30833f27c734 upstream.

If dm_btree_del()'s call to push_frame() fails, e.g. due to
btree_node_validator finding invalid metadata, the dm_btree_del() error
path must unlock all frames (which have active dm-bufio buffers) that
were pushed onto the del_stack.

Otherwise, dm_bufio_client_destroy() will BUG_ON() because dm-bufio
buffers have leaked, e.g.:
  device-mapper: bufio: leaked buffer 3, hold count 1, list 0

commit 18d03e8c25f173f4107a40d0b8c24defb6ed69f3 upstream.

When a thin pool is being destroyed delayed work items are
cancelled using cancel_delayed_work(), which doesn't guarantee that on
return the delayed item isn't running.  This can cause the work item to
requeue itself on an already destroyed workqueue.  Fix this by using
cancel_delayed_work_sync() which guarantees that on return the work item
is not running anymore.

Fixes: 905e51b39a555 ("dm thin: commit outstanding data every second")
Fixes: 85ad643b7e7e5 ("dm thin: add timeout to stop out-of-data-space mode holding IO forever")

commit 49e99fc717f624aa75ca755d6e7bc029efd3f0e9 upstream.

When you take a metadata snapshot the btree roots for the mapping and
details tree need to have their reference counts incremented so they
persist for the lifetime of the metadata snap.

The roots being incremented were those currently written in the
superblock, which could possibly be out of date if concurrent IO is
triggering new mappings, breaking of sharing, etc.

Fix this by performing a commit with the metadata lock held while taking
a metadata snapshot.

<id>0fd9b8b499b31651d3b2d1c837a0f199ea25cc41</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 47796938c46b943d157ac8a6f9ed4e3b98b83cf4 upstream.

This reverts commit a1989b330093578ea5470bea0a00f940c444c466.

That commit introduced a regression at least for the case of the SG_IO ioctl()
running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there
are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather
than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example.

That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "&lt;disk type='block' device='lun'&gt;" [2])
from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest.

More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration
employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective
(some output &amp; user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity).

Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios;
tested on linux-next (next-20151022).

1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM)

    $ cat sg_simple0.c
    ... see [3] ...
    $ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c &gt; sgio_inquiry.c
    $ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry

2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present.

    # multipath -l 85ag56
    85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM     ,2145
    size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active
    | |- 8:0:11:0  sdz  65:144  active undef running
    | `- 9:0:9:0   sdbf 67:144  active undef running
    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
      |- 8:0:12:0  sdae 65:224  active undef running
      `- 9:0:12:0  sdbo 68:32   active undef running

    $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
    Some of the INQUIRY command's response:
        IBM       2145              0000
    INQUIRY duration=0 millisecs, resid=0

3) The ioctl() fails with ENOTTY errno with _no_ active paths present,
   for unprivileged users (rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path).

    # for path in $(multipath -l 85ag56 | grep -o 'sd[a-z]\+'); \
          do multipathd -k"fail path $path"; done

    # multipath -l 85ag56
    85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM     ,2145
    size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
    | |- 8:0:11:0  sdz  65:144  failed undef running
    | `- 9:0:9:0   sdbf 67:144  failed undef running
    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
      |- 8:0:12:0  sdae 65:224  failed undef running
      `- 9:0:12:0  sdbo 68:32   failed undef running

    $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
    sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

4) dmesg shows that scsi_verify_blk_ioctl() failed for SG_IO (0x2285);
   it returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, later replaced with -ENOTTY in vfs_ioctl().

    $ dmesg
    &lt;...&gt;
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:144.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 67:144.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:224.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 68:32.
    [] sgio_inquiry: sending ioctl 2285 to a partition!

5) The ioctl() only works if the SYS_CAP_RAWIO capability is present
   (then queueing happens -- in this example, queue_if_no_path is set);
   this is due to a conditional check in scsi_verify_blk_ioctl().

    # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c './sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56'
    sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

    # ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56 &amp;

running without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users) when there
are no active paths: the ioctl() fails with the ENOTTY errno immediately rather
than blocking due to queue_if_no_path until a path becomes active, for example.

That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "&lt;disk type='block' device='lun'&gt;" [2])
from multipath devices; which leads to SCSI/filesystem errors in such a guest.

More general scenarios can hit that regression too. The following demonstration
employs a SG_IO ioctl() with a standard SCSI INQUIRY command for this objective
(some output &amp; user changes omitted for brevity and comments added for clarity).

Reverting that commit restores normal operation (queueing) in failing scenarios;
tested on linux-next (next-20151022).

1) Test-case is based on sg_simple0 [3] (just SG_IO; remove SG_GET_VERSION_NUM)

    $ cat sg_simple0.c
    ... see [3] ...
    $ sed '/SG_GET_VERSION_NUM/,/}/d' sg_simple0.c &gt; sgio_inquiry.c
    $ gcc sgio_inquiry.c -o sgio_inquiry

2) The ioctl() works fine with active paths present.

    # multipath -l 85ag56
    85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM     ,2145
    size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active
    | |- 8:0:11:0  sdz  65:144  active undef running
    | `- 9:0:9:0   sdbf 67:144  active undef running
    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
      |- 8:0:12:0  sdae 65:224  active undef running
      `- 9:0:12:0  sdbo 68:32   active undef running

    $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
    Some of the INQUIRY command's response:
        IBM       2145              0000
    INQUIRY duration=0 millisecs, resid=0

3) The ioctl() fails with ENOTTY errno with _no_ active paths present,
   for unprivileged users (rather than blocking due to queue_if_no_path).

    # for path in $(multipath -l 85ag56 | grep -o 'sd[a-z]\+'); \
          do multipathd -k"fail path $path"; done

    # multipath -l 85ag56
    85ag56 (...) dm-19 IBM     ,2145
    size=60G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    |-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
    | |- 8:0:11:0  sdz  65:144  failed undef running
    | `- 9:0:9:0   sdbf 67:144  failed undef running
    `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=enabled
      |- 8:0:12:0  sdae 65:224  failed undef running
      `- 9:0:12:0  sdbo 68:32   failed undef running

    $ ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56
    sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

4) dmesg shows that scsi_verify_blk_ioctl() failed for SG_IO (0x2285);
   it returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, later replaced with -ENOTTY in vfs_ioctl().

    $ dmesg
    &lt;...&gt;
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:144.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 67:144.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 65:224.
    [] device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 68:32.
    [] sgio_inquiry: sending ioctl 2285 to a partition!

5) The ioctl() only works if the SYS_CAP_RAWIO capability is present
   (then queueing happens -- in this example, queue_if_no_path is set);
   this is due to a conditional check in scsi_verify_blk_ioctl().

    # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c './sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56'
    sg_simple0: Inquiry SG_IO ioctl error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

    # ./sgio_inquiry /dev/mapper/85ag56 &amp;

commit 30ce6e1cc5a0f781d60227e9096c86e188d2c2bd upstream.

The block allocated at the start of btree_split_sibling() is never
released if later insert_at() fails.

Fix this by releasing the previously allocated bufio block using
unlock_block().

This was introduced with 9e882242c6193ae6f416f2d8d8db0d9126bd996b
which changed the return value of submit_bio_wait() to return != 0 on
error, but didn't update the caller accordingly.

btree_split_beneath()'s error path had an outstanding FIXME that speaks
directly to the potential for _not_ cleaning up a previously allocated
bufio-backed block.

Fix this by releasing the previously allocated bufio block using
